[PATCH EXAMPLE 2/2] dbg: gnss: sirf: allow aggressive controller runtime PM

From: Johan Hovold
Date: Wed May 09 2018 - 05:44:38 EST


This is just an example of how a serdev driver could go about to allow
aggressive controller runtime PM by dropping the RPM reference taken by
serdev core in serdev_device_open().

Note that for most GNSS devices this does not make any sense, as
allowing the controller to suspend this way would cause the
first message of every report burst to be corrupted (and discarded).

This one applies on top of the GNSS series available here:
